Safety, Compliance & Environmental Responsibility

At United Chemical we place safety, compliance and environmental stewardship at the core of our operations. Sodium cyanide is a highly toxic chemical that requires specialized handling and emergency planning — we take those responsibilities seriously:

• Regulatory compliance: We operate in accordance with applicable international and local hazardous materials regulations. (Please add your specific ISO/REACH/other certifications here if applicable.)

• Product labelling & documentation: Every shipment includes TDS, MSDS, COA and transport documents.

• Training & PPE: Our personnel receive comprehensive training and operate with appropriate PPE, respirators and containment equipment.

• Incident response readiness: We maintain documented emergency response procedures and can provide customers with our incident response plan and training on request.

Incident Response — Professional Emergency Preparedness (Summary)

United Chemical has developed a comprehensive on‑site incident response and first‑responder guide focused on Sodium Cyanide hazards. This summary is crafted for customers and partners and is available in full as a downloadable resource.

Hazards & risks

• Sodium cyanide is acutely toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. It releases hydrogen cyanide (HCN) if it contacts acids or moisture.

• Environmental risk to water, soil and aquatic life is significant if releases are not contained.

• Although NaCN itself is not flammable, reactions with acids, oxidizers or chlorates can generate toxic, flammable and/or explosive products.

Primary on-site response steps

1. Immediate action: Evacuate non‑essential personnel and call emergency services. Site leaders have authority to stop work and initiate evacuation.

2. Containment: Isolate the area, cut ignition sources, prevent material entering drains, and, when safe, stop release at the source.

3. Personal rescue & first aid: Move affected personnel to fresh air; provide oxygen for respiratory distress; perform CPR if needed (avoid mouth‑to‑mouth). For ingestion follow medical protocols; for skin/eye contact flush thoroughly and seek immediate medical care.

4. Cleanup & decontamination: Small spills — absorb with inert material (sand, earth) and collect for disposal. Large spills — use bunding, controlled washdown and collect contaminated wash water for treatment. Decontamination with hypochlorite or thiosulfate solutions may be used following environmental best practices.

5. Notification & reporting: Report promptly to relevant authorities and provide full incident details, containment actions and assistance needs.

Packaging, Storage & Shipping

• Dry solid packaging: Multi‑layer kraft bags with polyethylene liners; palletized options for safe handling and moisture protection.

• Storage recommendations: Dry, cool, well‑ventilated area, segregated from acids, oxidizers and foodstuffs.

• Custom packing: Corrosion‑resistant liners or anti‑caking agents available upon request.

Quality Assurance & Laboratory Testing

• Finished product tested for active cyanide content, moisture, particle size and impurities.

• Certificates of Analysis (COA) accompany each lot; third‑party testing available on request.

• Traceability: Lot numbers, production date and batch records recorded for customer traceability.
